Final presentation by Vanessa Lim on her Final Year Project research in the lab @scelse.bsky.social, NTU. She did a fantastic job contributing to our ongoing work on #food #spoilage #biofilms and we are sorry to see her go. Wishing her all the best with the next steps in her bright future! ✨

Another exciting talk from one of my team, this time at the @scelse.bsky.social annual retreat. Dr Xue (Essie) Zhao did a fantastic presentation on some of our food spoilage #biofilm and #microbiome work! Excited to see more of our research work being shared! 🦠🧫🧪

Harold Natano, the first PhD student to join my lab @scelse.bsky.social NTU Singapore presented his work on #foodchain #biofilms and #microbiomes at the Bacterial Ultra Group (BUG) meeting today - he totally smashed it! #proudsupervisor 🧫🧪🦠 #microsky #microbiome

Thank you @jcellsci.bsky.social! It was so much fun chatting with Editor @seemagrewal.bsky.social about my journey, research, and advice for junior scientists. It’s great that it reads just like our conversation flowed. I sincerely hope it resonates with trainees out there! Read the interview 👇

Had a great time lecturing the 2nd year Microbiology students the last 2 weeks for my first Undergrad teaching here at NTU Singapore. They were a fantastic group with good questions and discussions afterwards 😊

🧫 ASM Biofilm SIG Speaker Series Oct 2025 Join us for two exciting talks on how microbes build & battle within biofilms from food systems to medical innovation! 🧬 Dr @drlauranolan.bsky.social (NTU Singapore) 🧪 Dr Thuy Nguyen (Monash BDI) 📅 Thurs 30 Oct 🕐 1–2pm AEDT 💻 Zoom: uws.zoom.us/j/83362129519

My lab @scelse.bsky.social NTU is growing! Fun evening out with the team, I'm so fortunate to work with such a great group of scientists!

Today is International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste. Millions of tonnes of food are wasted in the EU each year, impacting the planet and our future. We cannot afford to waste it ↓

Nice to see a follow up story on @drlauranolan.bsky.social Pseudomonas aeruginosa T6SS toxin Tse8

Thrilled to see my first publication on food chain biofilms out! Check out the super cool biofilms Pseudomonas makes on food surfaces and the contribution of these to food spoilage. We're continuing to work in this space to find novel ways to extend food shelf life and reduce food waste! 🧫🧪

Tissue destruction during food spoilage is associated with the formation of biofilms by Pseudomonas species https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.07.11.664243v1

If you don’t get your child vaccinated against #measles, it can put them at a high risk of this serious infection, which can lead to severe complications or even death. Make sure your child’s measles vaccination is up to date.

New capabilities! SCELSE has installed a new isothermal microcalorimetry system (Symcel CalScreener) to track microbial metabolism in real-time — including responses to antibiotics, phage; and in biofilms and during transitions to alternate lifestyles.

Thank you so much to @drlauranolan.bsky.social and Mark Webber for putting this JBC review together. Such exciting days that bacterial genetics and transposon mutagenesis can push the boundaries on discovering novel gene function and put more light on the genomic dark matter. See at rb.gy/ovefri

Throwing a spotlight on genomic dark matter: the power and potential of transposon-insertion sequencing

Linking genotype to phenotype is a central goal in biology. In the microbiological field, transposon mutagenesis is a technique that has been widely used since the 1970’s to facilitate this connection...

We derive iron-siderophore interaction networks among Pseudomonas strains from sequencing data. One key insight: natural strains form dense networks, whereas pathogens are loners. With @frimanscience.bsky.social @zhiyuanli.bsky.social & Nanjing colleagues www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Siderophore synthetase-receptor gene coevolution reveals habitat- and pathogen-specific bacterial iron interaction networks

Coevolving siderophore genes shape bacterial iron networks, unveiling the complexity of cheating across habitats and lifestyles.

Noncomparative and heterogeneous, but so refreshing to see something larger than a small report or case study confirming that bacteriophage therapy is safe and, in many cases, effective. #IDSky #Phage www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Personalized bacteriophage therapy outcomes for 100 consecutive cases: a multicentre, multinational, retrospective observational study - Nature Microbiology

Analysis of 100 consecutive personalized bacteriophage therapy cases supports the use of personalized and sometimes pre-adapted, bacteriophage preparations, often in combination with antibiotics.

Great and busy times at @fillouxlab.bsky.social a few years back 😅. @lukeallsopp.bsky.social, @drlauranolan.bsky.social and I constructed a few TraDIS libraries to answer T6SS questions. Still remember the soundtrack of these days: Barry White 😂😂😂 over and over so the experiments were repetitive

While leaving Twitter/X I have downloaded my post archives and found back some jewels What about the TraDIS team building season 1 back in 2017
